GIG GUIDE

(Double check these listings before going to the gig! Sometimes I screw up the details...)

Thursday, July 24, 2014

The Sugar Fed Leopards are pretty ridiculouslly fucking great. And this song, goodness. this just the demo, but on friday night i'll play the new single version on the show! And then they'll play it live at the spotted mallard. and BJ will play too. And Dane will do magic. good times...

and the lyrics:

Found my heart in sorrows grip, lost in psychedelic trippin,
down these old streets of gold, looking ofr tomorrow.
Over where the shadows fall making shapes against the wall a ghostly dancing queen, I heard the voice of Disco.
Sweet sense i'm yours tonight for dancing, dancing.
Take me up where coloured lights are dancing dancing.
Hear the strings they start to move me
its spooky but it really soothes me
if you've got dance in you then you've gotta let it out.
Let it out of your hips, let it out of our wrist and our fingertips.

Doing moves i've done before point to the stars point to the floor, do the roll do the hustle do the shady skate, oo i got the fever.
Trembling like a flower i was making it like a piece of cake.
Not the smartest cookie in the jar, but i've got something to shake.
Even the one who broke our heart is dancing, even your mama and our dad is dancing ,. Dancing something like the bus stop you've got to take your love lock it and pop. This could be the move thats going to get you back on top.
Like acherry, like a lover, icing sugar.
aaahh aaah aaah aaah, aaah , aaah
oooo dancing dancing oooooo dancing dancing
ooooo dancing dancing oooo dancing dancing aaaaahhh
spooky but it really soothes me its an illusion but oh it moves me if you've got dance in you then you've got to let it out
Let it like this, when you shake your hips, shake it like sugar
aaah aaah aaaah aaaah

I'd say we'll def play the new Sugar Fed Leopards single "Ghost Of Disco" that they launching at the Spotted Mallard on friday night. And def will play the SMB record of "Who Do You Love?" when we have them come on to play that records that inspired them and talk about their "christmas in july" gig at the tote sunday night. And maybe we'll play some stuff from ausmuteants and bj morriszonkle and the once overs and johnnie and the johhnie johnnies who are all playing this weekend. And some slow grinders since we have the slow grind LP launch at russian house on satdee. And some reggae. And some udder stuff too!

Thanks to Fonsoul for loading this up onto youtube for me to stumble upon and play about 10 times in a row. And thanks to John Manship for having a copy waiting for me to immediately buy for way too much money, haha. I can't find any info on the net about this record but thankfully being essentially a jazz thing it has some details of the players on the label. Legendary r'n'b singer Obediah "Young" Jessie is living out his dream of being a jazz man on Piano, Al Hines is on Bass and bad-azz be-bop drummer Roy Porter is pushing things hard as hell with those drums. And Marie Franklin, jeez, she is just shredding. "Twooo oooo ooo driiiftteeeeerrrrsss". I wonder if Mancini ever heard this thing? I can't place a date on it but from the sound I'd imagine it's not too long after the song debuted in Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961.

The other side is a cool swinging blues medley called Blues Medley in G, but for me it's all about Moon River. I never really connected to this song all that much before, but now we are tight like red beans and rice. If you know me, come round to my house and i'll make you a drink and we can listen to this thing REALLY LOUD. Twice.

* You can read more about Marie Franklin at john ridley's excellent website here

You should watch this show. It's really good. Captures the feeling of the modern world much better than that lame "Her" movie. It's a twilight zone style anthology thing. In the first episode, a beloved royal princess is kidnapped, with the kidnappers specifying that she will be killed unless the the Prime Minister of England fucks a pig live on TV by 4pm. Surely that premise is enough to get you watching it.

Mohair Slim gonna come in and do a little guest DJ spot some time in the first hour to play some Cumbia and other exotic shiz like he'll be playing at taboo #2 on satdee night

Empat Lima & harmony playing at Copacabana on sunday afternoon so probably something from each of them. And the unknown artist acetate version of "i'm gonna destroy that boy" that mr finewine had the only copy of has finally been released, so probably we play that!

Thanks to Holly for showing me this here thing. Just the song is spectacular enough, but then some other things happen. Things that may amaze and arouse and horrify you. Possibly all at the same time...

Every time I watch this film I am simply staggered by how good it is. In my mind perhaps it gets relegated into the "fun exploito camp movie" bag, but it's so far beyond that it's staggering. John Waters' quote that it is "beyond a doubt, the best movie ever made... possibly better than any film that will be made in the future" is not far off the mark.

What can you say? From the first second with that weird black and white patterned screen and the dripping voice over it looks and sounds amazing. And then it blasts straight into the amazing theme song and that great shot of the dancers from below and the pent up men... it's just breathtaking. And it never stops being great for a second. Of course Tura Satana as Varla is completely iconic and desirable and terrifying and just beyond cool, but EVRYBODY in it, right down to the gas station attendant, is totally memorable and maxed out and just dripping with character. And the script is superb, one classic line after another. God the way Varla spits out her lines is really something. But everybody gets great lines. And the way the whole plot develops and the two sides square off against each other had me completely enthralled. It is truly the prototype of what I want out of a movie.

If you've never seen it, you sure have something to look forward to. You can watch the whole thing on youtube, but it's such a great looking movie I think you owe it to yourself to get it on a DVD or at least get a good quality download.

DJ Ari Rose aka Plug 7 is having one of his record sales down at his warehouse in carlton this saturday and sunday and is gonna stop in on the show around 5:20 to play some records from his personal stash...

At about 6 we will have some live in studio songs from Lovers Of The Black Bird, who are playing this Saturday night at Dane Certificates Magic Tricks, Gags & Theatre with The Icypoles and Evelyn Morris.

I will probably also play this amazing punk record called "Dump On the Chump", and some other stuff too!

To get off this list, reply saying: "The U.S.-based Fund For Peace placed Sudan atop its 2014 Fragile States Index; ranked last was Finland, where the Helsinki Airport announced plans for a clothing-optional unisex sauna."
